Hi Thomas

I discovered that including a right indent cleared up my period leader
problem. Thank you, MVP website. However, I am still interested in if
there is a way to control what text gets included in the table of figures.


Depending on the version of Word you are using, you can make use of the
"Style separator" feature. In versions pre Word 2002 (or 2000), this
wasn't yet available, and you had to invent it for yourself: In the
caption paragraph, insert a paragraph mark between the text you want to
have in the ToF and and the rest of it. Format it as "hidden" (Format |
Font). Then make a new style that matches your caption style in format
(derive the former from the latter, all except a possible first line
difference), and apply it to the second part of the text including the
following (normal) paragraph break.

Good luck!
Robert
